I saw her skate in a JGP in 2002 and she had a great LP after a fall in the SP. I thought she looked like a tiny Jeni Meno. I was really forward to seeing her on the senior scene. Last year she was a bit disappointing but it will be interesting to see what she does this year.

When you see her in person, it's easy to see why alot of people compare her to Tara Lipinski. Her skating isn't nearly as polished, but she's got the exact same body-type. About five feet tall and thin as a rail.

I think Tara was about 4-9 or 4-10.

She wears the same exact hairstyle (bun with bangs) and similar glitzy costumes with nailpolish and make-up (always odd looking on a little girl, especially ones who look much younger than they are) and IIRC she used the same music cuts as Tara did in her "Sense and Sensability" LP last season.

They used the same cut from the "Much Ado About Nothing" soundtrack (the overture -- very popular with skaters). Lipinski never used the (short) cut from the "Sense & Sensibility" soundtrack that Kahle used in her FS (for the circular footwork section). I just happen to know and like both soundtracks by Patrick Doyle. :)
